Added comedi_get_buffer_read_offset(), comedi_get_buffer_write_offset(),
comedi_get_buffer_read_count(), and comedi_get_buffer_write_count().
comedi_get_buffer_read_offset() is the same as
comedi_get_buffer_offset(), which has now been documented as deprecated,
but is currently still declared in "comedilib.h" by default. It gets
the read position within the buffer as an offset from the start of the
buffer (modulo the buffer size).
comedi_get_buffer_write_offset() gets the write position within the
buffer as an offset from the start of the buffer (modulo the buffer
size).
comedi_get_buffer_read_count() gets the number of bytes read from the
buffer, modulo UINT_MAX+1.
comedi_get_buffer_write_count() gets the number of bytes written to the
buffer, modulo UINT_MAX+1.
The 'data' parameter (of type lsampl_t*) for
comedi_data_read_n(it,subd,chan,range,aref,data,n) is currently marked
as an OUTPUT parameter for SWIG, but we can only do that for single
objects, and this one points to an array of objects.
These functions allow the current read or write subdevice to be changed
to another subdevice that supports streaming input (for read), or
streaming output (for write) asynchronous commands.
They return 0 on success, in which case the comedi_get_read_subdevice()
or comedi_get_write_subdevice() functions will get the updated read or
write subdevice.
Changes are local to the "open file description" that was created by
comedi_open() (actually, by open()), and have no effect on other open
file descriptions created by other calls to comedi_open() (or open())
for the same underlying Comedi device node.
Changes to the read or write subdevice is not currently supported by the
comedi.org version of the Comedi drivers, but is supported by the Linux
"in-tree" Comedi drivers since kernel version 3.19.
Add wrapper functions for the INSN_CONFIG_DIGITAL_TRIG configuration
instruction. These are comedi_digital_trigger_disable(),
comedi_digital_trigger_enable_edges(), and
comedi_digital_trigger_enable_levels().
The comedi_arm(), comedi_disarm(), and comedi_reset() functions always
set the channel number in the corresponding configuration instructions
to 0, as they assume the channel number will be ignored by the driver.
Some drivers do in fact use the channel number in these configuration
instructions. Add additional wrapper functions comedi_arm_channel(),
comedi_disarm_channel(), and comedi_reset_channel() to allow the channel
number to be specified.
Add the comedi_disarm() function to send the INSN_CONFIG_DISARM
configuration instruction to a subdevice.
In configure.ac, bump the comedilib libtool version code to 11:0:11, so
the comedilib version becomes 0.11.0. Also bump the comedilib manual
version to 0.11.0 in doc/comedilib.ent.
included by comedilib.h, containing COMEDILIB_VERSION_MAJOR,
COMEDILIB_VERSION_MINOR, COMEDILIB_VERSION_MICRO, and
COMEDILIB_CHECK_VERSION(major,minor,micro). This can be used to perform
C pre-processor checks for API changes in comedilib.
experimental comedi_dio_bitfield2() function which works with
> 32 channels. Only works properly with ni_65xx currently.
Will post a request for review by any interested
parties to list before I bother making the rest of the drivers
work with it.
made it much faster, it takes <100msec to run instead of >1sec.
It requires linking to libperl now (hope that's
okay). Renamed DEBUG() and _() in libinternal.h to COMEDILIB_DEBUG()
and GETTEXT() in order to avoid conflicts with perl headers.
